The Boston Celtics jumped out to a big lead in game three of the NBA Finals, only to have Golden State rally in the third and take a lead entering the fourth quarter. However, like game one, the Warriors collapsed in the fourth quarter and Boston won going away to also cover the spread, 116-100. Thus far none of the three games have been close, with Boston winning game one by 12, Golden State game two by 19 and the Celtics game three by 16. Today, I'm looking at the under. Just one of the first three games have gone under and that was game two in Golden State, 88-107. First, Stephen Curry hurt his foot in game two and while he's probable today, have to wonder if that will effect his performance here today. 2nd, I'm looking for a much more physical game here in game four. That will mean fewer scoring opportunities. So far it's been over, under and then over. If the bounce comes right, we are looking at another under here in game four. Play the UNDER.

Miami won last night in the final game of their set with Washington, 7-4. That meant the Marlins swept Washington in their three game set. Pablo Lopez will start today for the fish with a 4-2 record in his 11 starts. Lopez has a very nice 2.32 ERA and 0.970 WHIP. Lopez has been even better on the road with a 2-1 record in his five starts with a 1.41 ERA. The Astros had Thursday off as they begin 3-game set with Miami. Luis Garcia will toe the rubber today for the Astros. Garcia is 3-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.07 ERA. Garcia has pitched well of late, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts. Both pitchers appear to be in a groove right now and for me, I'll be on the UNDER today. Play UNDER.

The St Louis Cardinals look to salvage one game of this three-game set with the Rays. They have lost the first two games, 2-4 on Tuesday and then 3-11 last night. Miles Mikolas will get the start for St Louis with a 4-3 record in his 11 starts and a 3.01 ERA. He's been slightly better on the road with a 3-1 record and 2.54 ERA. Tampa Bay trying to keep pace with the Yankees in the AL East. They trail the Yankees by 7-games. Shane McClanahan will get the start today with a 6-2 record in his 11 starts and a 2.10 ERA. He's allowed two runs or fewer in his last six starts. Both pitchers are very good as I expect to see a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER.

Game three of the NBA Finals moves to Boston for tonight's contest. The Warriors returned their game one blowout loss with their own blowout in game two to even the series at 1-1. The Celtics were close in game two but came out the break and shot very badly in the third quarter which led to their demise. The Celtics also missed a lot of wide open shots in game two, something they need to fix tonight if they want to win. Tonight, I'm looking at the UNDER. The Warriors have gone under in 11 of their last 13 vs a team with a winning straight up record. They are also 1-4 O/U in their last five games when the dog. The UNDER has also been quite dominant in this series, with seven of the last 10 meetings in Boston going under and 20 of the last 28 overall meetings going under. I'll take the under here today in game three.

The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak as they visit the NL's Pittsburgh Pirates today. The Tigers aren't often a road favorite, but they are today. That is mainly because their winningest pitcher is on the mound in Tarik Skubal. Skubal is 4-2 on the season with a very good 1.84 ERA. Skubak has allowed no runs in four of his last five starts. The Pirates have been doing well of late, winning five of their last six games including a 3-game sweep of the LA Dodgers. Jose Quintana will get the start for the Bucs today. Quintana is 1-2 in his 10 starts with a 2.32 ERA. Both these pitchers are very good and as such, I'll take the UNDER today.

 The Cleveland Guardians look to win their fifth in a row today and finally climb back to the .500 mark with a win. They beat the Orioles in game one of this set on Friday, 6-3. They have outscored opponents 25-9 during their four game win streak. Triston McKenzie will start today for the Guardians. McKenzie is 3-3 with a 2.44 ERA. He's pitched very consistently, allowing two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Orioles have lost three of their last four games. Tyler Wells looks to turn that around today as he's 2-4 in his 10 starts with a 3.71 ERA. He's been slightly better at home with a 1-0 record in four starts and a 2.29 ERA. I like both pitchers to keep this one close and low scoring. take the UNDER.

The Minnesota Twins have little competition in the AL Central with no other team having a .500 or better record. It almost makes them complacent knowing they should cruise to the division championship. Dylan Bundy will start today with a 3-2 record and 4.76 ERA. Bundy allowed nine hits and four runs in his last start to Detroit. The Blue Jays saw their eight-game win streak come to an end on Friday in their loss to the Twins, 3-9. However, it was their sixth straight over and their ninth over in their last 10 games. Jose Berrios will start today for the Jays with a 3-2 record in his 10 starts. Berrios has a lofty 5.62 ERA and has allowed nine runs over his last nine innings of work. I'm taking today's contest over.

 The San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers play game two of their set here tonight in Milwuakee. The Padres lost game one on Thursday, 4-5. The Padres looked to have the game in hand leading 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, but gave up four runs to lose the game. The Padres will try and rebound tonight from that devastating loss with their best pitcher on the hill in Joe Musgrove. Musgrove is 5-0 in his nine starts with a nifty 1.86 ERA. Musgrove has not allowed more than two runs in any of his nine starts this year. Milwaukee will counter with their Ace in Corbin Burnes. Burnes is just 3-2 in his 10 starts, but has a great 1.95 ERA. Two of the top pitchers in the NL and both candidates for the NL Cy Young. I'll take this game UNDER.

The first place Minnesota Twins are now 30-23 after losing three straight games. They still have a comfortable lead in the AL Central since no other team is within 3-games of even the .500 mark. Today they start a three-game set vs one of the hottest teams in baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays. The Twins made a call to Triple-A St Paul to bring up today's starter, Chi Chi Gonzalez. Gonzalez had a 3.44 ERA in the minors with and struck out 23.4% of batters he faces. He last pitched in the majors with Colorado from 2019 to 2021 and had a less than stellar career with the Rockies. Meanwhile Toronto has won eight straight games including sweeps of the Chicago White Sox and LA Angels. Yesei Kukuchi starts today with a 2-1 record in his nine starts with a 3.48 ERA. Kikuchi is ok, but I'm not sure Gonzalez will do much better with the Twins. I'm taking the Over today.

The White Sox look to salvage one game of this three game set with the Blue Jays. The Sox lost game one, 5-6 and then game two last night, 3-7. Johnny Cueto will get the start today for the Sox. Cueto is 0-1 in his three starts with a 2.41 ERA. After two very good starts, Cueto was roughed-up last outing against the Cubs, allowing nine hits and five runs over 6 2/3 innings. Meanwhile the Blue Jays are surging in the AL East, having won seven straight games. They are now in 2nd place in the AL East, 5-games back of the Yankees. Alek Manoah will start for the Jays today. Manoah is 5-1 with a very good 1.77 ERA. He's been even better at home where he has just a 1.33 ERA in four starts. Manoah has also been very consistent this year, not allowing more than two runs in any of his nine starts. I'll take the UNDER here tonight.

The 1st place Minnesota Twins have little competition in the division right now. The next closest team are the Chicago White Sox at 23-25 and no other team is above .500 in the division. Chris Archer starts today for the Twins with a 0-2 record in his nine starts. Archer has a 4.19 ERA but has been much better of late. He's allowed one run in two of his last three starts and three runs in his last start. The Detroit Tigers are just 20-30 on the season but have been fighting. The Tigers have won two straight games, four of the last five and five of their last seven. Alex Faedo starts today with a 1-2 record in his five starts. He has a 3.00 ERA and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his five starts this year. I'm taking the UNDER here today.

Minnesota sits in 1st place in the AL Central and is the only team in the division that has a record of better than .500. The Twins hold a 4.5 game lead over the White Sox who are just below the .500 mark. Bailey Ober will start today for the Twins with a 1-1 record in his six starts and a 3.25 ERA. He's been very good in his two road starts, posting a 0.82 ERA. In addition, he's allowed just six total runs over his lat five starts. The Tigers have won three of their last four games including last night's game one with the Twins, 4-0. Tarik Skubal will start today for the Tigers. Skubal has been very good with a 3-2 record and 2.09 ERA. He's allowed just three total runs over his last four games (25 innings). Both pitchers are very good and I'll be on the UNDER in this one.

The Toronto Blue Jays have won six straight games after their opening game win in this series with the White Sox last night, 6-5. The Jays have improved to 28-20 and are just a half game back of the Rays in the AL East for 2nd place and 5.5 back of the Yankees for 1st place. Hyun-Jin Ruy will start today with a 2-0 record and 5.48 ERA. Most of tha ERA came in his first two starts where he allowed 11 runs in 7 1/3 innings. Then he had almost a month off with an injury before returning on May 14th. Since his return, Ryu has three very good starts, allowing just three runs over 15 2/3 innings. The Sox dropped below the .500 mark with their loss last night. They will try to get back there tonight with Michael Kopech on the hill. Kopech is 1-1 in his eight starts with a very good 1.29 ERA. He's been even better in his four road starts with a 0.45 ERA. I like this game UNDER!

Atlanta has lost the first two games of this three game series with the Diamondbacks, including last night's contest 7-8. The Braves will try to salvage the last game here today with Kyle Wright on the hill. Wright is 4-3 in his nine games with a 2.68 ERA. Wright has been very good of late, allowing four total runs over his last three starts (18 innings). Arizona can get to the .500 mark with a win today as they sit at 23-24 overall. Madison Bumgarner will start today with a 2-3 record and 3.35 ERA. I like this game to go under here today.

The Houston Astros will look to extend their win streak to four games here today at Oakland. The Astros are in 1st place in the AL West with a 32-18 record and 5-games ahead of the LA Angels. Justin Verlander looks to rebound from his worst start of the season. Verlander went just six innings and gave up 10 hits and six runs in his last start at Seattle. That coming after a three game streak where he allowed no runs over 19 innings of work. The Oakland A's have lost the first two games to the Astros, 1-5 on Monday and 1-3 on Tuesday. Cole Irvin will try to get the A's back in the win column. Irvin is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA in his seven starts. He's been very good at home with a 1-0 record in four starts and at 1.61 ERA. I expect Verlander to go out and shut down these A's which only have two runs in the series as it is. Take the UNDER.

These two teams begin a three-game set here on Memorial Monday. The Houston Astros salvaged the rubber game of their series with Seattle, taking the third game, 2-1, after losing the first two games. The Astros offense has gone South of late, scoring just five total runs over the last four games. Framber Valdez gets the start today for the Astros. Valdez is 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA this season. He has now gone six consecutive starts without allowing more than three runs in a game. The A's trail the 1st place Astros by 11 games in the AL West. The A's also salvaged one of the four games in their series with the Rangers taking the fourth game, 6-5. Paul Blackburn gets the start today for the A's. He's been their best pitcher by far this year with a 5-0 record in his nine starts and a 1.70 ERA. He's allowed just three runs over his last four starts and six runs over his last six starts. This game looks to be an under play the whole way. Play UNDER.

The Milwaukee Brewers look to snap a two-game losing streak here today at St Louis and salvage the last game of this series. The Brewers are still in 1st place in the NL Central with a 29-18 record, but their lead has shrunk over the Cardinals to 2.5-games. The Brewers Ace, Corbin Burnes, will start today. While Burnes is only 2-2 in his nine starts he does have a very good 2.18 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 1.74 ERA in five games. The Cards will counter with Miles Mikolas today. Mikolas is 3-2 and has an impressive 1.96 ERA. He has allowed more than two runs in a start just once (3 runs). Two excellent pitchers on the hill today. I'll take the under.

The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians play the rubber matchup of their 3-game set here today. The teams split the first two games with the Guardians winning Friday and the Tigers winning on Saturday. The Guardians will start Triston McKenzie today with a 3-2 record in his seven starts. McKenzie has a nifty 2.45 ERA overall and 2.40 ERA on the road. He's also given up more than three runs just once in his seven starts this year. The Tigers had their modest two-game win streak snapped last night by the Guardians, 1-8. Elvin Rodriguez will toe the rubber today for the Tigers. He's making just his second start of the season after going five innings in his debut against the Twins, allowing four hits and four runs. The Tigers not much of a hitting team and with McKenzie on the hill for Cleveland I look for a low scoring game.

The Tampa Bay Rays need these wins vs the Yankees to close that big gap in the AL East. Unfortunately for the Rays the best they can do is a 4-game split with a win here today. They did win on Saturday, 3-1. They still trail the Yankees in the division by 5.5-games. Shane McClanahan will take the hill today for the Rays with his 4-2 record in nine starts and a 2.06 ERA. He has allowed only three earned runs over his last four starts 25 1/3 innings. The Yankees had their four-game win streak snapped last night. Luis Severino looks to get them back on track today. Severino is 3-0 in his eight starts with a 3.02 ERA. He has allowed just one run over his last two starts, 13-innings. Both pitchers are very good and I look for another under in this series.

The Houston Astros saw their ACE Justin Verlander roughed-up in game one with the Mariners on Friday as Seattle won, 6-1. The Astros will look to rebound here today with Jose Urquidy on the hill. Urquidy is 4-1 in his eight starts with a 4.24 ERA. He has allowed one run or no runs in three of his last four starts. The Mariners wins have come far and few between of late, that's why Friday's win was so surprising. You have to go all the way back to April 26/27 for the last time the M's have won two straight games. They have Logan Gilbert on the hill today who is 4-2 in his nine starts with a 2.77 ERA. Gilbert has been pretty consistent all season long. I don't expect the M's to get many runs today. If Gilbert can do what he has lately, this will be an UNDER.

The White Sox and Cubs play a short 2-game Inter League series here today from the South Side of Chicago. The Cubs have lost two straight, including Thursday's loss at Cincinnati, 5-20. Keegan Thompson starts today for the Cubs. Thompson has two starts and is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA. The White Sox also lost in their last game 7-16 to the Red Sox to level their record at 22-22 overall. They trail 1st place Minnesota by 5-games in the AL Central. Johnny Cueto starts today for the Sox. Cueto has two starts this season with a 0-0 record and a 0.00 ERA. He has gone six innings in both starts and allowed no runs and 12 KO's. I'll take UNDER here today.

 The San Francisco Giants have been struggling as they have dropped into third place in the NL West, 6.5-games back of the Dodgers. The Giants have averaged a very good 5.09 runs per game this year. It's the pitching staff that has dropped dramatically from last season, allowing a 4.53 ERA overall. Alex Wood starts today with a 3-3 record in eight starts and a 4.82 ERA. The Reds have won three straight games, including last night's opener with the Giants, 5-1. They have now scored 29 runs over their last three games. Vladimir Gutierrez will start today with a 0-6 record and 8.70 ERA. He's been even worse at home with a 9.94 ERA. I like this game over here today.

The Las Vegas Aces have the best record in the WNBA at 7-1. They are 5-0 at home and 2-1 on the road this season. They also are the highest scoring team in the WNBA at 93.3 ppg. And while they allow 80.1 ppg, they have the second best points differential of +13.2, only behind the 13.7 of Connecticut Sun. Today, they play at Chicago. The Sky are 4th in the league with a 4-2 record. They also average 84 ppg while allowing 77.2 ppg. I'm going to play the over with the fast paced Aces here today.

The Texas Rangers improved to 20-23 after winning their last two games. They took the opener in this series with the A's on Thursday, 4-1. They are 0-5-2 O/U/P their last seven games. Jon Gray will start today with a 1-2 record in his six starts and a 5.14 ERA. Gray has been up and down this season, but he has pitched well in two of his last three starts. Oakland dropped to 19-28 on the season with their loss to the Rangers on Thursday. The A's have lost four of their last six games. Cole Irvin will start today with a 2-2 record in his six starts. Irvin has a 2.94 ERA and a nice 1.13 ERA in his three home starts. Since his first two starts of the season, Irvine hasn't allowed over two runs in any of his last four starts. I'll take the UNDER in this contest.

The Toronto Blue Jays have won two straight games to improve to 24-20 in the AL East. They still trail the Yankees by 7.5 games as they have dropped off fast in the division race. Alek Manoah will toe the rubber for the Jays with a 5-1 record and 1.62 ERA. Manoah has allowed no more than two runs in any start this season. The LA Angels are having a fine season with a 27-19 record and just behind the Astros for the AL West lead. Chase Silseth will make his third start of the season today. Silseth is 1-1 in those prior two starts with a 2.61 ERA. Should be a good pitcher duel here tonight and I'll be on the UNDER.

The NY Yankees continue to dominate their division as they lead the AL East by 5.5 games over 2nd place Tampa Bay. The Yankees have won three straight games to improve to 32-13. Jameson Taillon will start today with a 4-1 record in his eight starts and a 2.95 ERA. Tallion is coming off a seven inning performance against the White Sox, allowing five hits and one run. Tamp Bay dropped their game one of this series with the Yankees on Thursday, 2-7. The loss dropped the Rays to 26-18 in the AL East. Jeffrey Springs will make his fifth start for the Rays. Springs is 1-1 in his four previous starts with a 2.12 ERA. In his two home starts he has a 1.23 ERA. Springs has not allowed a run over his last two starts. I'll be on the UNDER here today.

The Oakland A's took game three of their series on Wednesday with the Mariners as a nice dog price of +1.55 and won, 4-2. Now the A's return home to open their series here on Thursday against the Rangers. Frankie Montas will toe the rubber today for the A's. Montas is 2-4 in his nine starts with a 3.55 ERA. Montas has been excellent of late, going 7 2/3 innings of work with just two runs allowed and one walk and 14 KO's. The Rangers snapped their 3-game losing streak on Wednesday against the Angels with a 7-2 win. That's the most runs the Rangers have scored in their last seven games. Martin Perez will start today for the Rangers. Perez is 3-2 with a very good 1.64 ERA. He's been great on the road in his three starts, allowing no runs including a nine-inning shutout of the Astros in his last start. I'm looking for this game to go UNDER tonight with these two hot pitchers on the mound.

The Milwaukee Brewers remain on the road after a successful trip to San Diego, taking two of the three games including Wednesday, 2-1. Eric Lauer starts tonight for the Brewers with a 4-1 record and 2.16 ERA. Lauer rebounded from a sub-par performance on the 14th with a nice game vs the Nationals last Friday where he allowed no runs over seven innings. The Cardinals had Wednesday off after losing on Tuesday to the Blue Jays, 1-8. That loss snapped a five-game win streak by the Cardinals. This is a big early season series as these two teams are battling it out in the NL Central. The Cardinals are in 2nd place, 3-games back of the Brewers with a 24-19 record. Adam Wainwright will start tonight with a 5-3 record in his eight games. Wainwright has a 2.87 ERA and slightly better 2.50 home ERA. He's been very good of late, allowing three runs over his last 20 innings. Two excellent pitchers that should keep this game low scoring and close. Take the UNDER.

The Cleveland Guardians can't seem to put any wins together as they have not won two or more games in a row since May 8 and 9th. Cal Quantrill will start today for the Guardians with a 1-2 record and a 3.48 ERA. Quantrill coming off a nice start where he went seven innings vs the Reds, allowing just five hits and one run. The Houston Astros have a 1-game lead in the AL West over the LA Angels. It's looks to be just a two-team race in the division as the other three teams are all at least five-games below the .500 mark. Cristian Javier starts today for the Astros. Javier is 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA. However, at home he has a 1-1 record in two starts with a 0.79 ERA. Really, Javier has had one bad start in his four outings, a seven run game to the Nationals. I'll take the UNDER here tonight.

The Miami Marlins lost game one of this series with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, 0-4. They have now lost four of the last five games to drop to 18-23 overall and 4th place in the AL East Division. Cody Poteet will make his second start of the season here tonight. Poteet had a nice first start, going 4 2/3 innings vs the Nationals, allowing just one hit and no runs. Tampa Bay improved to 25-17 and is in 2nd place in the AL East behind the NY Yankees. Drew Rasmussen will start for the Rays. He's 4-1 in his eight starts with a nifty 2.33 ERA and 0.905 WHIP. He's been even better at home with a 2-0 record and 1.31 ERA. Rasmussen has allowed just three total runs over his last five starts. Both pitchers should be very good here tonight. I'll take the UNDER.

The NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers play game two of their series here tonight at San Diego against the Padres. They lost the opened last night, 2-3. That made two straight losses for the Brewers. They get their ACE on the hill today in Corbin Burnes. Despite his 1-2 record, Burnes has a nice 2.26 ERA and except for his last start he allowed two runs or fewer in his previous six starts. The Padres look to extend their win streak to six games here tonight. The Padres trail 1st place LA by just a half game in the NL West. Blake Snell gets the call today for the Padres. Snell is making just his second start since missing all the previous part of this season due to an injury. Snell only went 3 2/3 innings in his first start back against PHilly, allowing three hits and three runs. I look for Snell to only get stronger as he gets more innings. I'll take the under with these two pitchers on the hill today.

Cleveland dropped another game under .500 to 17-20 with their loss on Sunday to Detroit, 2-4. That makes the Guardians 1-4 over their last five games. Zach Plesac looks to get the start tonight for the Guardians. Pleasac is 1-3 in his seven starts with a 4.42 ERA. The Astros improved to 27-15 after winning their last two game and taking three of four from the Texas Rangers. Luis Garcia toes the rubber for the Astros. Garcia is 3-2 with a 3.34 ERA this season. Both starts are capable of putting together good games here today. I'll take the UNDER.

The Detroit Tigers are tied for last in the AL Central with the KC Royals, both teams with a 14-26 record. The Tigers did snap a three game losing streak with a win on Sunday over the Guradians, 4-2. They have a 1-6-1 O/U record in their last eight games, partly thanks to scoring one run in three straight games. Eduardo Rodriguez starts today for the Tigers with a 1-3 record and 4.38 ERA. He's pitched well in his last three starts, allowing a total of four runs in 14 innings. Meanwhile the division leading Twins have won four straight games to improve to 25-16. The pitching has been very good. Chris Archer will go today with a 0-1 record in his seven starts. Archer has a 4.10 ERA. However, most of those came in a five run game on May 5. Other than that game, Archer has allowed two runs or fewer in every other starts. I'm taking UNDER today.

The Baltimore Orioles have won three of the last four games and improved to 17-23 on the season. They are still last in the AL East and likely will remain there the entire season. Jordan Lyles will start today for the O's. He's 2-4 in his eight starts with a 4.11 ERA. He's pitched well of late, allowing more than two earned runs just once in his last four games. The Division leading Yankees look to snap a two-game losing streak. They lost two of their last three to the White Sox and scored just one run in those two games. Gerrit Cole will start today with a 4-0 record in his eight starts and a 2.89 ERA. Cole has has not allowed more than three runs in any of his eight starts this year. I look for a low scoring contest here today. Play UNDER.

The Minnesota Twins look to extend their win streak to four games here today as they look for the sweep in Kansas City. The Twins will start Bailey Ober today who is 1-1 in his four starts with a 2.75 ERA. After his first start where he allowed four runs to the Mariners, Ober has allowed just two total runs in his next three starts. The Royals have lost three straight games and five of their last seven games. Brady Singer looks to get them back on track today. Singer has only one start and that was a fine one. Singer went seven strong innings against the White Sox, allowing just four hits and no runs with no walks and nine KO's for the 2-1 win. I look for a low scoring game here today with two pitchers that have pitched great of late. Play UNDER.

The Detroit Tigers look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today at Cleveland. The Indians are just 13-26 overall on the season and in last place in the AL Central. Alex Faedo will start for the Tigers with a 0-1 record in his three starts but a nice 2.87 ERA. Faedo has not allowed more than two runs in any of his three starts this season. The Cleveland Guardians are trying to claw their way back to the .500 mark in the AL Central. Right now, only Minnesota has a record over .500 in the division. The Guardians snapped a three game losing streak with their win here on Saturday. They will start Shane Bieber today who is 1-2 in his seven starts. Bieber has a 3.96 ERA with a 1.267 WHIP. Bieber had his worst start of the season, allowing seven runs to the Blue Jays but then bounced back with a six inning, one run performance against the Twins. I'm looking for a low scoring game today. Play UNDER.

The Seattle Mariners have dropped three-straight games to a 17-24 record and fourth place in the AL West. The Mariners have also lost five of their last six and could be swept here today by the Red Sox. Logan Gilbert will start for the M's with a 4-2 record and 2.60 ERA. Gilbert has been even better on the road where his is 3-1 with a 1.59 ERA. The Boston Red Sox have won four straight to improve to 18-22, but still are four games under the .500 mark. Nathan Eovaldi will start today with a 1-2 mark in his eight starts and a 4.32 ERA. Eovaldo had been doing great his lat five starts before his last one. He had given up just six runs in five games and then was blistered by the Astros for six runs over 1 2/3 innings in his last start. I look for Eovaldi to rebound here today and this game to go UNDER.      

Game one of this series between the White Sox and Yankees was postponed on Friday. That means they pick up here today, but will only play a single game today, not a doubleheader. The White Sox made it to 19-19 with a win on Thursday over Kansas City. They are just the 2nd team in the AL Central to be at .500 or above with 1st place Minnesota at 22-16. The Sox will start Dallas Keuchel today with a 2-3 record and 5.88 ERA. Keuchel is coming off a very good start where he went five innings and allowed four hits and no runs to these Yankees. The Yankees have catapulted into 1st place in the AL East with a 28-10 record, now 5-games ahead of 2nd place Tampa Bay. Nestor Cortes will start today with a 2-1 record in his seven starts. Cortes has a very good 1.35 ERA and is slightly better at home with a 1.00 ERA in three starts. Cortes has not allowed more than two runs in any of his seven starts and has three games where he's allowed no runs. I'll take the UNDER here today in this matchup.

The Oakland A's and LA Angels begin their series here tonight from LA. Both teams come in off losses. The A's lost Wednesday to Minnesota, 4-14. That makes four of their last five games they have lost. Paul Blackburn makes the start here tonight for the A's. He's 4-0 in his seven starts with a nifty 1.67 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 3-0 record and 0.83 ERA. He's also allowed two runs or fewer in six of his seven starts. The Angels are coming of a 3-game loss to the Rangers. Chase Silseth makes his second start of the season tonight. His first was excellent, going six innings vs these A's, allowing one hit and no runs for the win. I look for these teams to get back to some low scoring games. Take the UNDER.

Game two of the Eastern Conference Championship has the Miami Heat with a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series. The Celtics took pretty good pounding in game one, though the 107-118 final made the game look closer than it was. The Celtics have lived and died by the three-point shot this year. They had 110 attempts vs the Bucks and that was third all time in the NBA playoffs for 3-pointers attempted. In game one they hit 32.4%, well below their game seven win over the Bucks of 40%. Still, the Celtics do well as road dogs, going 7-1-1 ATS their last nine. They also bounce back well, going 4-1 ATS their last five after losing straight-up by 10 points or more. As for the total, the Celtics have gone under in five of their last seven games. Miami has been a very good under team of late with nine of their last 11 playoff games going under when they are favored. Game one went over, but I'm taking game two to go under here tonight.

The Yankees look to sweep their series here today with the Orioles. They have taken the first three games with one over, one under and a push thus far. Today, Jordan Montgomery will start for the Yankees. Montgomery is 0-1 in his seven starts with a respectable 3.06 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 2.21 ERA in four starts. Montgomery has been very consistent too, allowing two runs or fewer in each of his last six starts. The Orioles have now lost six straight games. During that losing streak they have scored more than three runs just one time and that was four runs. Bruce Zimmermann will get the start today. He's been the best the O's have had thus far with a 2-2 record in seven starts and a 1.98 ERA an 1.80 home ERA. Zim has not allowed more than two runs in any of his seven starts this season. Looks to be a low scoring affair with these two pitchers on the hill. Play UNDER.

Game one of the NBA Western Conference Championships here tonight as the Dallas Mavericks take on the Warrior in Golden State. The Mavs pulled the big upset thus far, beating the regular season best team in the NBA the Phoenix Suns. And they did so by taking games seven in Phoenix in a blowout win, 123-90. Three of the seven games went over the total and three of the four on the road went over for the Mavs. The Mavs have now gone over in eight of their last 11 road games. Golden State beat the Memphis Grizzlies 4-2 in their series. They split the over/unders with three over and three under. The Warriors have been a very good over team when they have rest, evidenced by their 15-5-1 O/U/P record their last 21 with 3 days or more of rest. This has also been a over series with 12 of the last 16 games going over. I'm taking game on OVER here tonight.

The Astros and Red Sox have split their three game series thus far with Boston taking game one on Monday and the Astros taking last night's contest, 13-4. The Astros are just a game back of the Angels in the AL West in that two team division battle. Luis Garcia will start today for Houston with a 3-1 record in his six starts and a 2.94 ERA. He's been even better on the road with a 1.20 ERA in his three away outings. Garcia has also allowed just one run over his last 12 innings of work, winning both games with just four walks and 18 KO's. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are in last place in the AL East. The Sox will turn to Nick Pivetta today who has had his problems with year. Pivetta is 1-4 in seven starts with a 5.08 ERA. He's been even worse at Fenway where he is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA. The good new for Pivetta is that he's pitched well in his last two games, going 13 innings and allowing just one run with one walk and 12 KO's. If Pivetta has it back under control, which he looks to have done, then take the UNDER here tonight.

The Braves still trying to climb back to that .500 mark sit at 17-20 after winning Tuesday's contest at Milwaukee, 3-0. Both games thus far in this series have been low scoring with the Brewers winning on Monday 1-0 and the Braves on Tuesday, 3-0. I don't see that changing with Max Fried on the hill today for the Braves. Fried is 4-2 in seven games with a 3.14 ERA. The Brewers start their ACE in Corbin Burnes. Burnes has a 1-2 record despite a great ERA of just 1.77. Burnes has not allowed more than two runs in any of his last six games. Take the UNDER here today.

Detroit had its four-game win streak snapped yesterday by the Rays, 1-8. That means the two teams have split this three game series with the rubber match here today. While yesterday's game went over, that was the only one to do so in the last six games. Eduardo Rodriquez will start today with a 1-2 record this year in his seven starts. He's pitched well though with a 3.72 ERA. He's also allowed just one run over his last two starts 13 2/3 innings. The Rays improved to 22-15 with their win on Tuesday. The Rays are in 2nd place behind the 27-9 Yankees. Drew Rasmussen will start today with a 3-1 record in his seven starts. Rasmussen has been very good with a 2.67 ERA and 1.72 home ERA. He's also allowed just one run in each of his last three starts and three total runs over his last four starts. I'll take today's game under the total.

The Houston Astros dropped game one of this series with the Red Sox on Monday, 3-6. After an 11-game win streak, they have now lost two of their last three games. The Astros still have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, including a bull pen that has just a 2.91 ERA. Jose Urquidy starts today with a 2-1 record after six starts and a 4.39 ERA. He's been very good of late, allowing just one run over his last two starts (nine innings) of work. The Boston Red Sox improved to 14-21 with their win on Monday. That was their third win in their last four games. Nathan Eovaldi toes the rubber today for teh Sox. Eovaldi is 1-1 in his seven starts with a 3.15 ERA. He's been very consistent this year, not allowing more than three runs in any single outing. I like both these pitchers to keep the score low. Play UNDER.

The Houston Astros had their 11-game win streak snapped on Saturday by Washington, 6-13. Then the Astros came right back and picked up with winning on Sunday with a 8-0 shutout of Washington. Today, Jake Odorizzi takes to the hill with a 3-2 record and 3.37 ERA. Odorizzi has pitched very well of late, going 11 2/3 innings allowing no runs. The Boston Red Sox took two of their three game series withe the Rangers over the weekend. Garrett Whitlock starts today after a 0-1 record in his four starts. Whitlock has a 3.00 ERA and 1.133 WHIP. Two decent pitchers here today, I'll take the UNDER tonight.

It's Game 7 of this Eastern Conference Clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics. The Bucks extended the series with a game 6 win, 108-95 to force this game seven back in Boston. Four of the six games in the series have gone UNDER the total. Milwaukee has had some very poor shooting games in this series, hitting just 41.5% or worse in four of the six games. Their three-point shots have also been bad with half their games having a 26.5% or worse mark. Two of the three games in Boston have gone under and for me, I'm sticking with a lower scoring game here today. Play UNDER.

The Baltimore Orioles have dropped two straight games to bring their record to 14-20 on the season. The Orioles hope to salvage the rubber game of this series with the Tigers after dropping the first two games. The O's have scored just two runs overall in this series thus far. Tyler Wells starts today for the O's with a 1-2 record and 3.75 ERA. Wells has pitched very good of late, allowing just two total runs over his last two starts (11 innings). In fact, the Wells has not allowed over two runs in any of his last five games. The Tigers look to sweep the series today with Tarik Skubal on the hill. Skubal is 2-2 in his six starts with a 2.41 ERA. Skubal has allowed just two runs over his last two starts (13 innings). I look for this game to go UNDER.

Boston improved to 12-20 overall with their win in the opening game of this series with the Rangers, 7-1. Rich Hill will get the call today for the Red Sox. Hill is 0-1 in his five starts, but has a solid 2.86 ERA. In fact, Hill has been very hot of late, allowing NO runs over his last three starts (13 innings). The Texas Rangers are just 13-18 overall and have alternated win/loss over their last eight games. Glenn Otto will start today with a 1-0 record in three starts and a 3.14 ERA. This looks to be another low scoring game with Hill on the mound for the Red Sox. Take UNDER

The Milwaukee Brewers improved to 21-12 with their win over Miami in the opening game of this series, 2-1. The Brewers sit in 1st place in the NL Central, 3.5 games ahead of St Lous and after that no team is even at the .500 mark. Eric Lauer starts today and is 3-0 in his five starts with a very nice 1.82 ERA and 0.944 WHIP. Since his opening start where Lauer gave up three runs, he has allowed just three total runs over his next four starts. The Marlins dropped to 14-18 with their loss on Friday. The fish have now lost four of the last five and 10 of their last 12. Trevor Rogers gets the start and he's 1-4 with a 5.00 ERA. Rogers did pitch very well in his last start, going five inning and allowing no runs. I like today's game UNDER.

Baltimore dropped to 14-19 with their loss to the Tigers in game one of this series on Friday, 2-4. That was the team's second under in a row and the fourth in the last five games. Bruce Zimmermann has been very good this year and will toe the rubber today. Zim is 2-1 in his six starts with a 1.78 ERA. He has not allowed more than two runs in any of his six starts and has three games where he hasn't allowed a single run. The Tigers got to 10-23 with that win on Friday. The Tigers have gone under in eight of their last 10 games with one push. They have also scored two runs or fewer in eight of their last 11 games. Michael Pineda gets the start today and is 1-2 in his four starts with a 3.43 ERA. In three of his four starts he's allowed two runs or fewer. This looks to be another low scoring affair for the Tigers. Take UNDER.

 Game six of this Eastern Conf Semifinal has the Celtics taking on the Bucks from Milwaukee. The Celtics somehow lost game five, despite a large 4th quarter lead. Now the Celtics face elimination with a loss here tonight. In their previous two games at Milwaukee, Boston lost 101-103 and won 116-108. The Celtics live and die outside the paint. They did well last game hitting 51% from the field but just 32% from 3-point line. Only one other game they shot worse and that was also a losing effort. The first three games in this series went under the total with the last two going over. I'm going back to the UNDER here tonight.

Las Vegas Aces are 2-1 to start the season. They have average 89 ppg this season while allowing 83.7 ppg. Now they face an Atlanta Dream team that is still perfect at 2-0 on the season The big difference, this Atlanta team has been the best defensive team in the WNBA with just 67 ppg allowed. They don't score much either at just 71.5 ppg. So which team will dictate the pace tonight? I look at the home team Atlanta to slow this pace and make this a half court game. With that, I'm taking the UNDER.

The Brewers and Marlins begin a three-game set here on Friday from Miami. The Brewers are 20-12 on the season and in first place in the NL Central. The Brewers Ace, Corbin Burnes will start today. Despite have just one win and two losses, he's pitched very well with a 1.86 ERA and 0.802 WHIP. The Miami Marlins are 14-17 after snapping a three game losing streak with a win at Arizona on Wednesday, 11-3. Pablo Lopez gets the start today Lopez is 4-1 on the season and has an excellent 1.25 ERA and 0.889 WHIP. Lopez has allowed no runs in four of his six starts this season. Two of the best pitchers on the mound today, I'll take the UNDER.

 We've seen a bit of a shift recently from the Unders that dominated early in the season to more even now that overs have been catching up. Still, one team that continues to produce great unders is this Houston club. They did it again for me last night night with a 5-0 shutout of the Twins. Their pitching has been amazing during this eight game win streak. They have allowed no runs their last two games and no more than two runs in any of their last eight games (four shutouts). Meanwhile, their hitting hasn't been great but good enough. Luis Garcia stars today for the Astros with a 2-1 record in five starts and a 3.45 ERA. He is coming off an excellent start that saw him go seven innings, allow two hits and two runs. The Twins had their three game win streak snapped last night by the Astros. They have struggled at times to score runs with just seven total runs scored over the last four games. Josh Winder toes the rubber today and has a 2-0 record in his two start. Winder has yet to allow a run in his 12 innings of work with just five total his, 15 KO's and just one BB. Winder should keep this one low scoring again and I will be on the UNDER again tonight.

The Oakland A's looked like they had got back on track after losing nine straight games. They had won two straight before losing last night to Detroit, 0-6. The Tigers continue to flounder a bit with the bats while the pitching has remained strong. Oakland starts Zach Logue here today with a 0-1 record in his only start and a 3.60 ERA. He pitched well enough to win, but got only one run of support from his team. The Tigers offense has also struggled. The six runs they got yesterday was more than their last five games combined. In fact, before yesterday the Tigers have not scored more than three runs in their last nine games and 12 of their last 13. The Tigers will start their prospect Joey Wentz today as he makes his MLB debut. The Tigers are getting thin on starters and Wentz is being brought up to fill a short term gap. Two poor hitting teams here today as I stick with the UNDER.

The Kansas City Royals are just 9-17 on the season after dropping three of their last four games. The Royals scored just eight total runs in their three-game series with the Orioles. Brad Keller is 1-2 as he toes the rubber for the sixth time this year. Keller has a nifty 1.74 ERA and 0.839 WHIP. He's allowed just one run over his last 13 1/3 innings. Texas is 11-16 after losing yesterday's game to the Yankees 0-1. The Rangers have scored seven runs total over their last four games with all four of those going UNDER. Martin Perez will start today with a 0-2 record but nice 2.25 ERA. Perez has allowed just one run over his last three starts, 20 innings. That includes four walks and 13 KO's. Two poor hitting teams with two very strong starters. Take UNDER

Houston has won seven straight games to improve to 18-10 on the season. During this win streak they have seen their total go under in six of the seven games. They have received stellar pitching, holding their last seven opponents to two runs or fewer. Justin Verlander goes today and he's once again on his game. Verlander is 3-1 in his five starts with a 1.93 ERA and 0.704 WHIP. He's been even better on the road with a 0.90 ERA and 0.650 WHIP in three starts. The Twins have improved to 18-11 with a three-game win streak. They have also received excellent pitching, allowing just four total runs in their three game sweep of the A's. Joe Ryan starts today for the A's. Ryan is 3-1 in his five starts with a 1.63 ERA and 0.831 WHIP. Both pitchers have been excellent, both teams pitching also excellent. I'm taking UNDER.

 The Boston Red Sox look to snap a five-game losing streak here today as they sit at just 10-19 overall and in last in the AL East. The Sox offense has been pretty pathetic with just five total runs over their last four games. Garrett Whitlock will start today with a 0-1 record and nice 1.50 ERA in his three starts. The Braves have won two straight games as they look to get back to the .500 mark at 14-16 overall on the season. Kyle Wright is 3-1 in his five starts for the Braves with a 1.74 ERA and 0.968 WHIP. He's been even better at home with a 3-0 mark and 0.47 ERA. Don't look for many runs here today with these pitchers on the hill. Play UNDER.

Early game on the schedule today has game one of their doubleheader between Detroit Tigers and Oakland A's. Detroit is only 8-20 on the season after losing six straight games, including last night's opening game of this series, 0-2. The Tigers have been shut out in two straight games and scored two runs or fewer in six straight games. Tarik Skubal goes today with a 1-2 record and 3.04 ERA. He's held two of his last three opponents to no runs. The A's are just 11-18 and finally broke their nine game losing streak with their win last night. The pitching has been very good, holding their last five opponents to four runs or fewer. Frankie Montas as been good with a 2-2 record in his six starts and a 3.44 ERA. He's been even better at home with a 2.84 ERA. He is coming off a seven inning effort vs Tampa Bay where he gave up four hits and no runs. I look for these teams to continue struggling to score here today. take the UNDER in game one.

Tampa Bay saw its six-game win streak snapped last night by Seattle, 1-2. The Rays took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth but got tied in the 9th and lost it in the 10th. The pitching has been very good for the Rays. Jeffrey Springs makes his second start of the season here tonight. Springs went 2 2/3 in his first game, allowing three hits and one run. The LA Angels lead the NL East division. It looks like a two game race with the Astros as no other team is above .500 mark. The Angels beat Washington last night, 5-4. That was their fourth win in their last five games. Their big acquisition in the offseason, Noah Syndergaard hasn't disappointed thus far with a 2-1 record in four starts and a 2.63 ERA and 0.958 WHIP. I look for this to be a low scoring contest here tonight. I'll take the UNDER.

Two teams in desperate need of a win meet tonight. One of these teams will snap a losing streak while the other will continue with one. The Oakland A's have fallen on hard times, losing nine straight games to a 10-18 record. Paul Blackburn will start tonight and he's been their best with a 3-0 record in five starts and a 2.22 ERA with a 0.945 WHIP. Blackburn has allowed more than two runs in a start just one time and that was last game vs Tampa Bay where he gave up three runs. The Tigers have lost five in a row after the Astros swept a four-game series. The Tigers scored two runs or fewer in each of their four loss to the Astros. In fact, they have scored three runs or fewer in 10 of the last 11 games. Michael Pineda will start today with a 1-1 record in his three starts and a 3.77 ERA. He's been better at home with a 1-0 record in two starts and a 1.93 ERA. This looks to be another low scoring affair. Play UNDER.

 Two teams that scored the most points in their opening game as the Las Vegas Aces host the Seattle Storm. The Storm opened their season with a convincing win over the Minnesota Lynx, 97-74. The Aces also won in big fashion in their opener, beating the Phoenix Mercury 106-88. Seattle has now gone over in their last five games as a road dog. Vegas is 6-1 over/under in their last seven home games. And this series has been an over series with 14 of the last 20 meetings in Vegas going over and six of the last seven overall meetings going over That's what I will play today, the OVER.

The Detroit Tigers look to snap a four-game losing streak here today and avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Astros. Wily Peralta makes his first start today for the Tigers after working 8 1/3 innings in the bullpen and allowing no earned runs. Peralta will have to be very good because the Tigers haven't scored more than two runs in any of the last four games and not more than three in any of the last six. The Houston Astros have a six game winning streak on the line here today. Their pitching has been stellar, allowing two runs or fewer in six straight and seven of the last eight. Jake Odorizzi will make is 6th start today after going 2-2. He has a 4.15 ERA and at home a 3.68 ERA. With the low scores in both these teams games of late, I'll take the UNDER here today.

This best of Seven semifinal series between the Suns and Mavs returns to Dallas for game three tonight. The Suns took games one and two by seven points in game one and 129-109 in game two. That takes us to this pivotal game three in Dallas. The Mavs are in desperate need of a win here tonight if they hope to have a chance to move on in the playoffs. The Mavs have been a good under team at home, evidenced by their 3-14-1 O/U mark their last 18 games at home vs a team with a road winning record. They are also 20-48-1 O/U in their last 49 home games. This series has also been a good under play, despite the first two games going over. The last 16 of 23 games played in Dallas have gone UNDER. I look for the UNDER here tongiht.

The Colorado Rockies improved to 15-10 after winning two straight and five of their last six games. That includes last night's win over the Nationals, 9-7. They hit the road here today to start a series at Arizona Chad Kuhl takes the ball on the hill for the Rocks. Kuhl is 3-0 in his four starts with a nifty 1.90 ERA and 0.845 WHIP. Arizona has been surprisingly good this year in the toughest division in baseball with a 13-13 record. The D'backs are coming off a three-game sweep at Miami. Merrill Kelly gets the start today. Kelly has been very good with a 2-1 record and 1.27 ERA. Four of Kelly's five starts have gone under thanks to him allowing one run or fewer in four of those five starts. Two very good pitchers on the hill today and for me, I'll take the UNDER.

The LA Angels are 15-8 and in 1st place in the AL West. The Angels are coming off a win on Sunday over the White Sox, 6-5. That makes them 8-1 over their last nine games. Noah Syndergaard gets the start today and is 2-0 in his three starts with a 2.12 ERA and 0.824 WHIP. The Boston Red Sox have dropped two straight to a 9-14 record. The Sox have received very good pitching, the problem is that haven't scored much either. They have a 2-10-1 O/U/P record over their last 13 games. Michael Wacha gets the start today. Wacha is 2-0 in his four starts with a 1.77 ERA and 0.935 WHIP. Two very good starters today should keep this score very low. Take UNDER.

The NY Yankees continue to be the hottest team in baseball with 10 straight wins to lead the AL East with a 17-6 record. The Toronto Blue Jays are right on their heals with a 15-9 record. You have to go back to April 21 for the last Yankees loss. The Yankees took game one of this series on Monday with a 3-2 win, in what figured to be a low scoring game. Alek Manoah starts for the Jays here today. Manoah is 4-0 in his four starts with a 1.44 ERA and 0.880 WHIP. He is coming off his best start of the season, seven innings against the Red Sox whee he allowed just three hits and no runs. The Yankees will start Jameson Taillon who is 1-1 in his four starts with a 3.26 ERA. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his starts this year. Great pitching matchup with the two best teams in the AL East. Take the UNDER.

The Minnesota Twins took game one of their series with the Orioles on Monday, 2-1. That makes three wins in a row for the Twins who improved to 14-9. The Twins play in the AL Central, a division where they are the only team with a winning record. Joe Ryan starts today with a 3-1 record in his four starts. Ryan has a 1.17 ERA with a 0.696 WHIP. In addition, Ryan has pitched 13 straight scoreless innings with just three total hits, two walks and 14 KO's. The O's dropped to 8-15 with their loss on Monday night. They have also lost six of their last seven games. Bruce Zimmermann has been their best starter this year with a 1-1 record, 0.93 ERA and 1.190 WHIP. He's allowed no runs in three of his four starts this year. Two great pitchers matchup here today and runs should be at a premium. Play UNDER.

The Atlanta Braves are just 10-13 to start th season after losing two straight games in Texas. The Braves are chasing a very good Mets team in the NL East, now six games back of New York in the standings. Max Fried gets the start today for the Braves. Fried is 2-2 in his four starts with a 3.00 ERA. Fried has been very good of late, allowing just one earned run over his last 13 innings with no walks and 12 KO's. The Amazing Mets are 16-7 after taking two of three from the Phillies. Christ Bassitt has a nice 3-1 record in four starts this year. Bassitt also has a 2.25 ERA and 0.917 WHIP. He is coming off an excellent start where he allowed no runs over six innings to the Cardinals. Look for a top pitching clash here today. I'll take UNDER.

 The NY Yankees continue their red-hot streak here today as they begin their series with the Blue Jays. The Yanks have won nine straight games and lead the AL East by 1 1/2 games over the Blue Jays. That makes this series an early season big one to see how the teams matchup when they are both playing well. Jordan Montgomery starts today with a 0-1 record and 2.70 ERA. Montgomery allowed three runs in his opening season game and since they, just three total runs over 16 2/3 innings. The Blue Jays have won two straight games and are right on the Yankees heals. Ross Stripling gets the start today with no record in three starts and a nifty 2.77 ERA. In two home starts he has a 1.00 ERA and 0.778 WHIP. This looks to be the marquee game of the day and for me, I'll take UNDER with these good pitchers.

Seattle looks to snap a four-game losing streak here today as they play their final game of this series with the Marlins. The Mariners have lost both the first two games after Saturday's setback of 1-3. Logan Gilbert looks for his fourth win of the season here today. Gilbert has been the best the M's have had with a 3-0 record after four starts and a blazing, 0.40 ERA and 0.850 WHIP. He gave up one run in his first start and since has allowed no runs over 17 2/3 innings. Meanwhile the Marlins have rattled off seven straight winners to improve to 12-8. They also get one of their best on the hill today in Sandy Alcantara who is 2-0 with a 1.78 ERA in four starts. Two excellent and hot pitchers here today and I'll look for this game to go UNDER.

The Houston Astros look to stay above the .500 mark here today in their final game of this series with the Blue Jays. The 11-10 Astros had their four-game win streak snapped on Saturday by the Jays, 1-2. That makes four of the last five games that have gone UNDER. Framber Valdez gets the start today. Valdez is 1-1 in his four starts with a 3.14 ERA. Surprisingly, Valdez has pitched better on the road where he has a 0.57 ERA in his three starts. The Toronto Blue Jays are 14-8 and in 2nd place in the AL East behind the Yankees. Kevin Gausman is 1-1 with a 2.19 ERA this season in his four starts. He also has a nice 1.013 WHIP and has not allowed a walk all season to go with his 35 KO's. Should be a lot of swing and misses in this game with these pitchers going. I'll take the UNDER.

The Boston Red Sox improved to 9-12 with their win over the Orioles on Friday in game one of their series, 3-1. That makes three straight games that the Red Sox have allowed just one run to their opponent. Nathan Eovaldi gets the start today for the Sox. Eovaldi is 1-0 in his four starts with a 3.32 ERA and 1.108 WHIP. The Orioles are 6-14 and now have a five game losing streak. Spenser Watkins will make his fourth start today with no record. Watkins has no record with a 2.77 ERA and 1.231 WHIP. Both pitchers are very good and the Orioles have had issue scoring runs this year. I'll take the UNDER.

The Minnesota Twins had their seven game win streak snapped last night at Tampa Bay in the first game of their series with the Rays, 1-6. They are 11-9 now and the only team in the AL Central with a winning record. In fact, all the other teams are at least four games below the .500 mark. Chris Archer will start today with no record in three starts. Archer has pitched well though, posting a 3.18 ERA and 1.324 WHIP. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his three starts. The Tampa Bay Rays are 12-8 after winning three straight and five of the last six games. They have held five of their last six opponents to two runs or fewer. Shane McClanahan gets the start today with a 1-1 record and 2.45 ERA. He has allowed just five walks while recording 31 KO's. Both teams have excellent pitching and I'll be playing the UNDER here today.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 8-11 on the season after winning their last two games against the Dodgers. The D'backs will send Humberto Castellanos to the hill today. Castellanos is 1-0 in his two starts with a 2.00 ERA and 1.000 WHIP. He's allowed two runs over his 9 innings of total work, five hits, four walks and six KO's. St Louis is 10-7 on the season after snapping a three game win streak on Wednesday, 10-5, over theM Mets. They scored more runs on Wednesday then their last three games combined. The Cardinals have been a good under team though, with a 7-2 O/U record their last nine games. Dakota Hudson starts today with a 1-1 record and 3.95 ERA over his three games. Hudson is coming off an excellent start where he gave up no runs to the Reds over 6 2/3 innings with just two hits. I'm taking the UNDER here this evening.

 The Toronto Raptors have staved off elimination in this series twice now as they have won the last two games against the 76ers. The Sixers opened with three straight wins before losing game four at Toronto, 102-110 and then losing game five at home, 88-103. Now the series returns to Toronto where the Raptors can force a game seven. After a high scoring game one, the last four games have all gone UNDER. Have to wonder how much of this is due to the injury Joel Embiid suffered in the series. He hurt his thumb and will require surgery when the season is over. Also the Raptors, guard Fred Vanvleet is doubtful tonight with a hip injury. This series has slowed down and with key injuries on both sides, I'll stick with the UNDER.

Game five of this best of seven series between the Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks is an elimination game should the Bulls lose. The Bulls are down 1-3 in this series and facing the end of their season tonight. So far all four games have gone under in this series as the Bulls have had trouble scoring points. The Bulls have 95 or fewer points in three of the four games. I'm not getting involved in this big line today, rather I'll stick with the UNDER as the Bulls exit the playoffs.

The Boston Red Sox look to snap out their four game losing streak. They have also lost six of their last seven games. Michael Wacha will get the start today. Wacha is 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA over his 19 1/3 innings of work. Wacha has been the one bright spot for the Red Sox this year. Conversely, the Blue Jays have been very good at 12-6 and in 1st place in the AL East. Ross Stripling starts for the Jays who is 0-0 in his two starts with a 3.38 ERA. Stripling should do well against this struggling Red Sox team and Wacha should keep the game close. I'll take the UNDER.

The Baltimore Orioles had their modest 2-game win streak snapped last night in the final game of their series with the Angels, 6-7. The Baltimore bats have come alive finally, scoring 20 runs over the last four games. That more runs then they scored in the previous nine games. Jordan Lyles is 1-1 with a 3.52 ERA this year for the O's. Lyles has been one of their better pitchers. He had a rough start in game one, allowing five runs. However, his last two games he has only give up one run over 10 1/3 innings of work. The NY Yankees have won three straight and five of the last six to improve to 10-6 on the season. The pitching staff has been excellent with the Bullpen having just a 2.44 ERA and at Yankee stadium that goes down to just 1.85 ERA. Luis Severino will get his fourth start for the Yankees tonight. Severino is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA, four walks and 14 KO's in his 13 innings of work. With two good pitchers and a very good Yankees pen, I'll take the UNDER here today.

The NL West is arguably the best division in baseball with the Dodgers, Giants and Padres all contenders to go to the World Series. The Dodgers and Giants both have 11 wins while the Padres and Rockies have 10. The Diamondbacks, well they have the misfortune of being in this division and have just six wins. The Dodgers once again have excellent starters and a great bullpen. They have held their last five opponents and 11 of the last 12 to three runs or fewer each game. Walker Buehler will start today at 1-1 on the season after three starts. Buehler has a 4.02 ERA and 1.468 WHIP. He has yet to allow more than three runs in any of his three starts. The D'backs are not one of the better hitting teams in the league, but they have scraped together six wins. At least three of those wins as +1.50 or higher underdogs. Merrill Kelly starts today and he's pitching great for the D'backs. Kelly has a 1-0 record after three starts with a 0.59 ERA and 1.174 WHIP. Kelly has allowed just one run over 15 1/3 innings with six walks and 18 KO's. For me, Kelly should keep this game low scoring and that is a good UNDER play for me tonight.

The Toronto Raptors staved off elimination in game four with a win over the Sixers, 110-102. That was the clubs first win and cover in the four games thus far. In addition, three of the games have gone UNDER the total. The Raptors will be without a key offensive player tonight in Fred VanVleet, who is out with a hip injury. The 76ers were also dealt a blow when Joel Embiid tore a ligament in his right thumb. That injury will require surgery after the season is over. He has vowed to play through the injury. However, with both teams having key offensive players hurt, I have to wonder how this game makes it over tonight. I'll take this game UNDER.

AL East clash here today has the 7-9 Boston Red Sox taking on the first place Toronto Blue Jays who are 10-6. The Jays are tied with the Yankees for first and have won two straight and four of the five games. They conclude their four game series here tonight and are guaranteed at least a split. Jose Berrios will start his four game here tonight for the Jays. Berrios is 1-0 with a 6.35 ERA and 2.030 WHIP. After a couple of rough starts, Berrios calmed down in game three with six innings of work and only one run. The Boston Red Sox have two in a row and four of their last five. Nathan Eovaldi starts tonight and is 1-0 after three starts with a 3.68 ERA. Eovaldi is coming off his best start too, going 4 2/3 innings and allowing one run. Both pitchers have a excellent start to build off of and tonight I look for the UNDER.

The SF Giants have won three games to improve to 11-5 on the season and just behind the Dodgers for the NL West lead by a 1/2 game. The Giants once again have one if not the best pitching staff in baseball, Thy have held Washington to just six total runs and won all three games. Now today they play at Milwaukee to play just one game. The Giants start Sam Long who will likey only go a few innings today. Long has one start and that was just two innings with two hits and no runs. The Brewers have improved to 10-6 after winning two straight games and seven of the last eight. Their Ace, Corbin Burnes goes today. Burnes is 1-0 in his three starts with a 2.37 ERA and 0.789 WHIP. This looks like a great pitching day in Milwaukee. I'll take UNDER.

 Game three of this series looked like a dead under until about 1 minute left when the teams went wild hitting threes and making foul shots to send it over. That makes two straight in the series that have gone over. However, The Suns have been a decent under team, having gone under in six straight and eight of the last nine before these last two games. The Suns have taken a 2-1 lead in this series and regained home court after taking game three at New Orleans, 114-111 as a 2-point favorite. This should be another close game and I will take the UNDER one more time.

The Baltimore Orioles have scored more runs in the last two games (9) then they have in the last four games combined. In fact, the O's have been held to two runs or fewer in nine of their 14 games. Yet, they have won two of their last three games. Spenser Watkins will go today and he has no record in his two starts. Watkins has a terrific ERA of 2.25 over his eight innings of work and a 1.250 WHIP. His one drawback is that he's allowed more walks (4) then he has KO's (2). The Angels had their modest 2-game win streak snapped last night by the O's. They are tied for the most wins (8) in the AL West. One time NY Met, Noah Syndergaard starts tonight and he's been in dominant in the AL as he was in the NL. Sydergaard has a 2-0 record, 1.59 ERA, 0.794 WHIL and has five KO's with two walks. I don't expect Baltimore to get much here tonight against Syndergaard so I'll take the UNDER.

The Phoenix Suns were the best team in the NBA this season and by far. So it was a bit shocking when the Suns lost game two of this series with the Pelicans on their home floor, 114-125. The Suns need to regroup as they hit the road to New Orleans here tonight for game three. For me, I'm taking the under in this game. The Suns have been a good under team, going UNDER in six of their last seven games and eight of the last 10. The Pelicans are 1-8 O/U the last nine times the won the previous game straight-up. They are also 1-7 O/U in their last eight games when they have had two days of rest. I'm going to take tonight's contest UNDER.

The Baltimore Orioles dropped to 4-9 on the season after losing last night at Oakland, 4-6. That game also marked the first time all season that an Orioles game had gone OVER the total. The O's are now 1-11-1 O/U/P on the year. The biggest problem for the O's is the last of hitting. They have scored 3 runs or fewer in 10 of their 13 games this season. Their highest scoring output was just five runs. Bruce Zimmermann will start today. Zimmermann has no record after two starts and he has yet to allow a run over his nine innings of work with four walks and 10 KO's. With the O's lack of hitting and Zim on the mound today, this is an UNDER play for me.

Game three of this Best of Seven Eastern Conference series moves venues tonight to Chicago as the Bulls host the Bucks. The Bucks won a low scoring game one, 93-86, but failed to cover the 10.5-point line. The Bucks lost game two, 110-114, also not coming close to the 10-point line. With the series tied 1-1, the Bulls grabbed home court and need to keep it here tonight. So far, both games have gone under. The Bucks have also gone under in three of the last four. The Bulls have gone under in five of their last six playoff games when the dog. The Bulls are also 8-17 O/U in their last 25 overall games. These teams have gone under in five of the last six meetings and that's what I'm sticking with here today. Play UNDER.

The Chicago White Sox look to stay above .500 tonight when the take on the Twins in game one of their three-game set from Minnesota. The Sox have lost four straight games after losing last night at Cleveland, 3-6. They have not scored more than three runs in any of their last seven games. Micheal Kopech gets his third start tonight. Kopech has a 1.00 ERA over nine innings, allowing one run, three hits, four walks and eight KO's. The Twins have sputtered to a 5-8 mark through 13 games. Though they did win last night to salvage a game in their series with the Royals, 1-0. Like the Sox, this team has not hit well at all, scoring one run over their last two games and four runs over the last three games. Bailey Ober is 1-1 in his two starts as he take to the hill tonight for start number three. Ober has a 3.27 ERA over his 11 innings, allowing eight hits, four runs, three walks and seven KO's. With these two poor hitting teams and two decent pitchers I'll take the UNDER.

The Boston Red Sox have dropped below the .500 mark after losing two straight games and three of their last four. The Sox, like so many other teams, not hitting the ball much early in the season. They have score five runs over their last three games and have five under games in their last six games. Michael Wacha gets the start tonight with no record after two starts. Wacha has pitched well, but is a victim of poor hitting as he has just a 0.96 ERA in his two starts with a 0.857 WHIP. The Tampa Bay Rays are 7-6 overall this season and have lost two of their last two games and three of the last four. Again, a victim of poor hitting, the Rays have scored three runs or fewer in each of their last four games. They have also gone under in five of the last six games. I'm not going to change until I see teams start hitting better. Take the UNDER.

The Minnesota Twins are just 4-8 after 12 games. The Twins have lost two straight games in this series with the Royals. They are also 1-4 their last five games. Joe Ryan starts today for the Twins. Ryan is 1-1 after two starts with a 2.70 ERA and 1.100 Whip. The Royals got back to the .500 mark after taking the first two games in this series. Zack Grienke will get his third start of the season for the Royals. Grienke is 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA and 1.081 WHIP. This looks to be another low scoring game with two decent pitchers on the hill. I'll take the UNDER

The Chicago White Sox look to snap a 3-game losing streak here today as they take on the Cleveland Guardians in the final game of their three-game set. The White Sox have scored two total runs in this series. In fact, the Sox have not scored more than three runs in any of the last six games. Dylan Cease will look to get the Sox back winning today. Cease is 2-0 in his two starts with a 1.69 ERA and 0.937 ERA. Cease has 16 KO's and just five walks. The Cleveland Guardians are 6-5 on the season and have won two straight games after a three-game losing streak. The Indians will start Zach Plesac who is 0-1 in his two starts with a 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Plesac has seven KO's and just one walk on the season. Two very good pitchers and poor hitting White Sox team is the recipe for an UNDER.

The SF Giants hot streak has had a hose turned on it after playing the Mets. The Giants have dropped two straight and now are 7-4 on the season. They lost to the Mets in game one yesterday, 4-5 and then lost the 2nd game of the DH, 1-3. Today they send Carlos Rondon to the hill. Rondon is 1-0 in his two starts with a 1.50 ERA and 0.750 WHIP. The Mets are truly amazing with a 9-3 record. Every starting pitcher on the staff has an ERA of 2.50 or under. This is a team filled with great pitching. They send Chris Bassitt to the hill today. Bassitt is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA and 0.667 WHIP. Two great pitchers today should mean a excellent under chance.

The Baltimore Orioles are 3-8 to start this new season. The Orioles lack of offense is really showing. They have scored two runs or fewer in five of their last six games and seven of their last nine games. No wonder they have been a great under play for bettors with six straight going under and and 0-1-10 o/u/p on the season. Jordan Lyles will start today. He's 0-1 after two starts with a 5.23 ERA and 1.742 WHIP. Oakland is 7-5 after winning the first two games against the Orioles. Daulton Jefferies will start today with a 1-1 record and 1.93 ERA. Don't expect Baltimore to score much here today if anything. I'll stick with the UNDER.

 Two of the best pitching staffs in baseball meet today in New York as the Mets host the San Francisco Giants in a doubleheader. The Giants are 7-2 and have won five straight games with three of those five going UNDER. Their pitching staff has allowed two runs or fewer in all five of those wins. In fact, they have give up more than two runs just twice the entire season. Logan Webb starts here in game 2 for the Giants. Webb has two starts under his belt and has pitched great in both, allowing just one earned run in each game. That makes him with a 1.29 ERA over 14 innings with nine hits and 10 KO's and just one walk. The Mets are 7-3 (before game one) on the season and like the Giants they don't allow many runs. They have held three opponents scoreless this season and seven of their 10 opponents have scored three or fewer runs. Max Scherzer will toe the rubber here in game two for the Mets. Scherzer is 2-0 in his two starts with a 3.27 ERA and 1.091 WHIP. Scherzer allowed just one run his last start at Philadelphia over five innings with seven KO's and three walks. I'll take the UNDER also in game two.

Two of the best pitching staffs in baseball meet today in New York as the Mets host the San Francisco Giants in a doubleheader. The Giants are 7-2 and have won five straight games with three of those five going UNDER. Their pitching staff has allowed two runs or fewer in all five of those wins. In fact, they have give up more than two runs just twice the entire season. Alex Cobb starts tonight after winning his opener over the Padres. Cobb went five innings and allowed just four hits and two runs to go with 10 KO's. The Mets are 7-3 on the season and like the Giants they don't allow many runs. They have held three opponents scoreless this season and seven of their 10 opponents have scored three or fewer runs. Tylor Megill makes his third start of the season tonight with a 0.00 ERA. He's gong 10 1/3 innings, allowed just six hits and no runs to go with no walks and 11 Ko's. Great matchup on the mound here tonight. Wouldn't be surprised by a 1-0 finish. I'll take the UNDER here in game one.

The LA Angels have won three straight games, taking three of four from the Rangers in their series. Now they play at Houston as they sit at 6-4 overall. The Angels will start Michael Lorenzen here today. Lorenzen had an excellent first start, going six innings against the Marlins and allowing just two hits and one run over six innings. In addition, he struck out seven and walked none. The Astros play their first home game of the season after losing two of three at Seattle. The Astros have been a very good under team this year despite going over on Sunday. They are now 3-6 O/U on the season. Luis Garcia starts tonight after going four innings in his opener vs the D'backs. Garcia allowed just two hits and no aruns in a fine performance. I'm looking for this one to get back on the UNDER train tonight.
